HOUSTON (KTRK) -- SkyEye 13 HD was over the south side where at first look, it appears there's a massive SWAT scene happening.

People have been calling police, as well as our newsroom, saying they're hearing gunshots in the area of Scott and Airport. It turns out, the Army says, it's a multi-agency training drill. They're doing it at the old Carnegie High School.

I emailed our two US senators (Cruz / Cornyn) and asked why this drill is happening in an urban setting.

All the divisions of World War II, from both sides, couldn’t disarm 100 million Americans, so this is an exercise in futility and a waste of good money.

In Miami, some poor guy on the street said he heard gunfire from the choppers, and obviously not knowing they were blanks (NOBODY WAS INFORMED about this ‘exercise’ in the local news!!! WT...) he hit the deck terrified. Freaked out some citizens as to be expected.

So what? Unless every one of those 100 million has access to a lot of ammunition, you are pissing in the wind.

Don't think for a minute that Obama and his owners don't know this.

Have you been reading the articles the last 4 and a half years about the run on guns and ammunition, six hour waits to buy a ticket to a gun show, etc, etc? I was talking about the roughly 100 million gun owners, not the 320 million toatal population. Have you seen this?

Until there are answers regarding these ‘exercises’, they appear to be nothing but a show of force aimed at the American people.

Someone’s got some explaining to do.

I think the Administration is trying to provoke an incident to justify a jackboot response. Keep yer powder dry. I don’t think the US military are a match for 100 million armed bubbas. Look what a few Taliban has done to humble a modern military force, and the Russians, too.

The way to kill these urban training exercises quickly is to create an Internet rumor that the soldiers are training for a ground invasion of Iran, and urban combat conquest of Tehran followed by martial law.

They are practicing for an invasion of Iran.

Such a rumor would freak out the Washington weaklings, who would demand and immediate halt to these exercises.

The one in Houston took place at the old “Carnegie High School”. I'm assuming it's vacant...but talk about your timing huh?

“Machine gun fire from military helicopters flying over downtown Miami Fl. (Just a Drill!)”

This makes me think that the 2nd Amendment should reasonably allow SA-7s.

“Someone’s got some explaining to do.”

I agree with this, but think this through.

If it is a show of force to intimidate Americans, why are they intimidating leftists in big liberal cities? Maybe it’s not obuma’s people. Maybe it’s something else, so let’s get some explanations before we drive the car off the road and into a ditch.

What a great idea! Get that to Alex Jones! to Glenn Beck! to Rush Limbaugh! The obamanoid democrips are training for invasion of Iran! If we can make it go viral, the sonofabitch in the White Hut will be bowing to his Mooselimb brotherhood demands to stop this at once!

Just shine a few lasers up at the Helos. They won’t know if the laser is on the end of an AR15 or what. Watch em take evasive maneuvers, and it effs up their attention to flying duties.

There are several ways to counter a campaign of terror being administered by DHS.
